I think this topic is exhausted now, isn't it? Every permutation has been explored. Almost... one last question... Irf have you ever seen him play? No but I've seen him kiss his girlfriend on TV! Hes old news now. The Lithuanians have stolen his thunder. |

I will take the no and move on. All I’m saying is I wouldn’t put around 100 comments about a guy I’ve never seen play. X

I saw him play in Tenerife a couple of years ago (i live over here) and actually stayed the night in the same hotel as i did. He was a little shocked at breakfast when i approached him and introduced myself joking that I had flown over to watch him play.
Seemed a really nice guy. Good luck to him.

X Seeing him play has absolutely ZERO to do with any of my observations My comments are totally about the idea of a guy fitting in BBL alongside maxing out potential earnings as a celebrity |

Understanding his ability is relevant. A players who's significantly better than the rest of his team-mates with a decent basketball brain will be able to fit in and learn the players even if he's missing some practices.
But Soko is your new Fab, with a ton of posts as you attempt to wear everyone down by constantly repeating your opinion and refusing to allow an opposite view to go unchallenged.

Do me a favour hersey put me on ignore You want to oppose and give it out but then not happy when I give some back Just ignore my posts. I'm more than happy to give you the same courtesy. I've already PMd you about this as you know I've no interest in talking to you You're an unpleasant character overall - I was warned what you were like when I joined Tbh But I ignored the warning You do your thing I will do mine. I'm had enough of your bitchy attitude and comments |

I'm had enough of your bitchy attitude and comments I don’t find Hersey an unpleasant poster at all. Maybe you just don’t like the fact your superiority complex can’t be used against Hersey. I certainly prefer Hersey’s posts above yours, as he actually has real knowledge about basketball. You probably wouldn’t get soo much dislike if your comments were more humble and don’t pretend your opinions should be valued as gospel. If you just discussed your opinions as non experts normally do, I personally don’t think you would get soo much criticism. |

It's not hard to determine whether he is a team player or not by actually watching some games. Why not scout him properly here: www.championsleague.basketball/18-19/videos/UCAM-Murcia-v-Anwil-Full-Game-Basketball-Champions-League-2018I do find it quite unbelievable that someone spouts opinions without knowing someone's game and what type of player he is. In Greece and Spain, he's been the ultimate professional no matter what the circumstances. Don't you think playing for Murcia in the Champions League doesn't give him a bit of celebrity status in the Murcia region at least, and he's conducted himself impeccably. He knows how to adjust himself to circumstances and so why not with new-found ITV celebrity status--which again, he's handled impeccably, becoming a role model and earning praise, again, not hard to research. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/aug/20/love-island-ovie-soko-young-black-people-need-know-they-can-be-themselves. So before you spout all kinds of unfounded opinions, do some research and provide evidence-based arguments. But instead you just go off at whoever disagrees with you. And, by the way, Ovie's got game. |

Oh dear. My understanding of the ignore function is it simply takes your posts out of the thread. As you post in virtually every thread - generally multiple times - it would leave the threads making little sense. Besides I enjoy watching you tell the world about your deep knowledge and understanding gained over the five minutes since you invented basketball.
It's a message board, you don't get to decide who reads your words of wisdom or answers them. If you don't like people disagreeing with you, maybe you shouldn't post.

When Bill Bradley was at Oxford University in the 60s he'd travel weekly to Italy to play for Milan. So training isn't essential.

Show the same courtesy to me or else don't talk to me or lecture me No need at all There's plenty of stuff I could say sarcastic to you in the past but I'm not that kind of person |

And, by the way, Ovie's got game. For the umpteenth time my comments on soko are totally unrelated to his ability as a player and entirely about the disruption signing a player who cannot commit either short or long term can be to a professional sports team It's not rocket science. How about you reading what I've actually posted before you pass opinion on what I should research or do? I'm not disputing his ability or talent and never have once? His ability or talent is irrelevant to my posts. |

Only my last three words were about the quality of the player.
My main points were: 1 the style of player is relevant. Ovie always plays in the function of the team, and will take on whatever role (hence the scouting video). In other words, if a team wanted him only for a few games and told him what they expected from him, he would be able to do it; 2. his ability to adjust to difficult situations--even his experience on Love Island would be a transferable skill in that regard. In other words, if he's thrown into a team and has to fit in, he's shown he can do it. 3. his character to be accept a role and be a role model. In other words, if he comes in and attention will focus on him, he won't overreact and just get on with it.
All those qualities make Ovie a valuable asset to any team that could only have him on an irregular basis.
So for the umpteenth time, maybe you could engage with actual arguments rather than just restate your own.

So for the umpteenth time, maybe you could engage with actual arguments rather than just restate your own. Although I get slated for repeating myself I will show you the courtesy of an answer but it's similar to what I've already posted You've got a team just had their best ever season, won the league that has a proven winning formula prepared to come into the next season with the potential disruption and unpredictability described above. Relying on the whim of a love island runner up, his girlfriend and his agent and asos etc etc etc as to when he plays and when he doesn't play. In any other professional sport it would be just a joke for the previous season league winners to even consider. I clearly don't like the idea myself and welcomed it the second I heard it. I could definitely understand a team coming off an unsuccessful season wanting to do something like this. Nothing to lose for them. The way Lions have set their squad up to me suggests its not been done with all eyes on the ball and I wonder if the potential soko addition to the squad has contributed to this I consider what I've said entirely valid and fair enough if everybody wants to disagree with me and thinks soko guesting for lions in training and matches when available will move them forward I think it's a backward step for a team that got themselves very successful without soko being anywhere near the club It's certainly a risk Anyone who can't recognise that I'm surprised at tbh Godsend?? Lions shouldn't need one? |

This thread reads like satire. The best GB basketball player of the moment, in the prime of his career, chose to spend his summer on a reality tv show instead of working on his game. And now people are debating how many training sessions it is acceptable to miss when he signs a hypothetical contract with a BBL team. Heck, why not a BBA team? Training sessions or even games definitely wouldn't be an issue then.

You complaining about someone lecturing is brilliant. I've placed a call with Alanis Morissette's agent. I'll also mention you moaning about "digs and sarcastic personal comments" yet posting "You're an unpleasant character overall - I was warned what you were like when I joined Tbh" I doubt I was even posting when you joined, due to the brilliance of Ole's moderating. You seem to have taken massive umbridge at my comment about your repetitive posting and need to have the last word, yet I'm one of on a growing list of people who've said similar. It's certainly telling when someone blocks you and says that it's actually improved his enjoyment of Bev. You might want to think about that. |
